So I got two permits to burn so I have to use one soon. Instead of dropping a few extra hundred on an inox now, I figure i'll take the plunge and get a glock first and save the beretta for an xmas present to myself.

 

Now here is where my dilemma starts.. I am particularly drawn to the OD green in a g19 flavor. I am led to believe this was a limited run in gen 3? Further the gen4 color choice is fde only? I guess if I fall short I will just get a mean black pistol as glock intended, but I gotta say the OD looks pretty damn good. Any insight from glock fans as to my options? Is the OD a unicorn to find new? FDE readily available through a glock dealer? Thanks.

I dont know about the od glocks as far a rareity but the fde glocks were a limited run done by lipseys. I dont know if they are going to be doing another run or not. The FDE glocks that were out are going up in price now. You can still find Gen 3s around but all the gen4 are sold out. You can find them on different auction sites but you will pay premium for them. I bought a Gen 3 23 last month. I LOVE the color. I think it is a lot better looking than the OD but that is just me. It def gets looks when i go to the range. I posted some pics of it when i bought it i will have to find the link for you.

Found it

Ahhhhh so its not factory for the fde? Perhaps ill just get the evil black handgun and possibly get it cerakoted. I like the look of the od and have plans for a 5x7 in fde in thefuture so diversity is my goal. Dont know if its just me but blue is just plain boring over time.

I saw some colored glocks at cabelas about a month ago...I didn't really pay much mind to them so I'm not sure if they were od or fde...and which gen they were but they had a row in the case thats what caught my eye...I'm also not a fan of the 2 tone ...but that's personal preference ... .I own a gen4 23 ....dead reliable...never had a single hiccup regardless of ammo brand or grain in 2k+ rounds easy to COMPLETELY disassemble unlike my sigs ...1911s and springfields that are more involved....glocks are great for what they ......everyone should have one in their collection ...lol

The FDE and the OD colors were both factory made. They were just limited runs for certain/large distributers. The OD was only gen3. The FDE was gen3 and gen4. There are still FDE's around. I think RTSP has a couple in their case.

 

I prefer evil black myself.

This past Wednesday I was at Banger's picking up my new rifle and another customer there asked about getting a Glock in OD Green. He was told that he'd have to wait as they only got those through a certain distributor and they had already contacted him about getting more but was told it would be several months at least. My $0.02, personally speaking, you can have a gun in any color you like as long as it's black. It just never goes out of style, LOL!

OD Glocks are a run from a couple years ago. They are not available new. What this person was talking a out was the FDE's, which some people seem to get confused. The FDE's were made this year and are still available new.
